few days the matter will be brought before

will be asked for. The entire L~iberakpar-
ty. with a solid phalanx from the mari
time provinces and Manitoba, is in favor
OF the measure, and it may be calculated
upon to a certainty that within q week

who stand by party rather than by prin-
ciple, will be driven to cover their nation
al policy pet scheme.

1t is no longer possible to disregard the
rumors which hav repeatedly gained cur
rency lately concerning Mr.. Parnell's
health. His private life. as every one

the future political struggle is doubtful.
I have reason to believe, but cannot state
positively, that his disease is cancer OF the
stomach.

United States supreme Court in the civil
rights case for the reason that the inter-
state law comes within the plain provision
OF the federal constitution.
